Description

The FCGear HypoCycloid Gear command creates two splined cam disks and a set of rollers that stay in touch with the disks' outer surfaces while moving.

Left: Hypocycloid gear. Right: Gear and transparently displayed also provided reversed gear and set of rollers

Please provide a short description what can be achieved using such a gear train.

Usage

  1. Switch to the FCGear Workbench.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the HypoCycloid Gear button in the toolbar.
    • Select the Gear → HypoCycloid Gear option from the menu.
  3. Change the gear parameter to the required conditions (see Properties).

Notes

The default gear(s) are displayed like this:

To display the cam disks and the set of rollers (pins) in different colours, we need three identical HypocycloidGear objects. Their visibility can be toggled:

  • Datashow_disk0 (Bool) for the main cam disk.
  • Datashow_disk1 (Bool) for a reversed cam disk on top.
  • Datashow_pins (Bool) for the set of pins.
